in the land of the buckeye

i went to an IIE conference this weekend in columbus ohio. i learned some interesting things while i was there, such as:

1. it is impossible to go to an industrial engineering function without hearing at least one person preach six sigma.
2. a large part of learning and networking can occur during "social activities" of a conference.
3. never leave a club while person 'D' still wants to stay, lest girls start taking off their clothes and licking each other's nipples.

so i would highly recommend going to a conference some time if you get the chance. especially if someone else is paying.

in other news, the airing of the final SATC episode was tonight. a sad day for all fans indeed.
